   Workstation for DOS ODI Client

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedure to setup the NetWare v3.X , v4.X
   workstation driver for ISA Plug&Play ethernet adapter. We provide two
   ODI drivers. The PNPODI.COM driver is a normal driver and PNPODIT.COM
   is a turbo ODI driver. We recommend you use the turbo driver PNPODIT.
   COM to improve network performance.

   Location of Driver:     \NETWARE\DOSODI\PNPODI.COM
                           \NETWARE\DOSODI\PNPODIT.COM  --- Turbo Driver

   Sample Configuration Files:
   ---------------------------
      STARTNET.BAT:
         LSL
         PNPODI or PNPODIT
         IPXODI
         NETX or VLM (VLM's for NetWare 4.X )

      NET.CFG
         LINK DRIVER PNPODI
              FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
              EtherID = 0000B4123456   ---->  This keyword  is Ethernet
                                              ID of a adapter, and only
                                              required  when more than
                                              one  ethernet  adapters
                                              exist on one system

     or for Turbo Driver

         LINK DRIVER PNPODIT
              FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
              EtherID = 0000B4123456   ---->  This keyword  is Ethernet
                                              ID of a adapter, and only
                                              required  when more than
                                              one  ethernet  adapters
                                              exist on one system

   Auto-Installation Procedures for NetWare Client :
   -----------------------------------------------
      Before you start the installation process, make sure that the
      adapter is properly installed and configured.

      1. Run INSTODI.BAT from the floppy drive which has this installation
         diskette.

      2. Select the ODI environment(VLM or NETX).

      3. Select the  operating  mode (JUMPER/JUMPERLESS/PnP)  which is
         consistent to your system.
         NOTE: THIS SELECTION IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR VER 2.x.
               THIS SELECTION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR VER 3.0 AND ABOVE.

      4. The installation program will auto-configure the ISA PnP adapter,
         copy all required files to C:\NWNET directory and create NET.CFG
         and STARTNET.BAT files under C:\NWNET directory.

      5. The installation program will modify CONFIG.SYS file to add
         "LASTDRIVE=drive" statement upon your confirmation and modify
         NET.CFG and STARTNET.BAT files under C:\NWNET directory to meet
         your ODI environment.

      6. Reboot your system for the configuration to take effect if you
         select VLM environment in step 2.

      7. Change directory to C:\NWNET then run STARTNET.BAT,  you will
         connect to the file server.


   Setup Procedures for NetWare 3.11/3.12 Client :
   -----------------------------------------------
      Before  you  start  the  installation  process, make  sure  that
      the  adapter is properly installed and configured.

      1. Copy  PNPODIT.COM and/or PNPODI.COM from the ethernet Driver
         Diskette subdirectory A:\NETWARE\DOSODI to your harddisk.

      2. Create a batch file, or add to your STARTNET.BAT file the commands
         listed above under STARTNET.BAT

      3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your
         requirements (see examples above).  If there are two frame types
         listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that
         the driver will load.  See above for examples.   The NET.CFG file
         should be in the same directory with LSL.COM file.


   Setup Procedures for NetWare 4.X Client with vlm:
   -----------------------------------------------
      The  installation utility  INSTALL.EXE  is  located on NetWare's
      "Workstation for DOS" disk. Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation
      for DOS Disk.

      The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear.  You must
      complete each of the questions.  These options are specific to your
      needs.

      1. Enter the destination directory for the NetWare Client.
         (The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT.)

      2. Gives you the option to automatically update the CONFIG.SYS
         and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a later time manually.

      3. Do you wish to install support for MS Windows ? (Y/N)
         (MS Windows Subdirectory: default C:\WINDOWS)

      4. Asks you to select a network  driver and  provide  configuration
         options.  It uses the  specifications  you select to  create the
         file NET.CFG.  Insert  the this  drivers disk when  prompted for
         the driver disk and specify the driver path A:\NETWARE\DOSODI

      5. Press <Enter> to install


   NOTE:
   -----
      1. Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file for the
         network mappings to work properly.

      2. Installing Multiple LAN Adapters:
         The keyword, EtherID, is provided for multiple LAN adapters in a
         single system by  PNPODIT.COM/PNPODI.COM. If EtherID unknown,
         you can ignore it in the NET.CFG file and directly run PNPODI.COM/
         PNPODIT.COM under the DOS prompt, then your screen  will  display
         every adapter EtherID and select which one you need.
